Churrasco's origins can be traced back to the cattle herders of Southern Brazil, known as gaúchos, who grilled meat over open fires. This nomadic lifestyle and reliance on cattle shaped their culinary traditions. The practice likely evolved from rudimentary cooking methods used out on the pampas.

Churrasco features robust, smoky, and savory flavors, primarily highlighting the natural taste of high-quality meats. Seasoning is typically simple, relying on salt to enhance the inherent flavors.
The primary flavor profile is intensely meaty, with a prominent smoky char from the grilling process. The salt accentuates the beef's natural richness, while the fat renders and contributes a succulent, juicy texture. Other meats like pork and chicken offer variations in flavor and texture but share the same smoky grilled essence. Sausages add a spicy and savory note, completing the diverse flavor spectrum. Garlic butter or chimichurri may be added, providing additional pungent and herbaceous elements.

Meat Selection
Choose well-marbled cuts of beef for optimal flavor and tenderness. Picanha (rump cap) is a traditional favorite, along with ribeye, sirloin, and filet mignon. For other meats, select good quality pork loin or chicken thighs.
Salting Technique
Use coarse sea salt to season the meat generously just before grilling. The salt will draw out moisture and create a flavorful crust. Avoid pre-salting, as it can dry out the meat.
Grilling Temperature
Maintain a medium-high heat on the grill to achieve a good sear on the outside while keeping the inside juicy. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the meat is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Cutting Against the Grain
When serving the churrasco, always cut the meat against the grain. This shortens the muscle fibers, making the meat more tender and easier to chew.
